My wife has got us started in garden railways. So we now have rolling stock from 4 different brands.
I note that we now have a variety of couplings. Most of the stock has the LGB hook and loop or compatible. A Bachman car and the Eggliner came with knuckle couplings but they seem to be incompatible. And the Disney train has a different hook and loop that's moulded on at a different height. I bought a pack of Kadees for the LGB cars but am wondering if they'll mate with the other Knuckles.
So what does everyone else use? What's best for outdoor use?
